Germany, Norderney

Luxury Apartment with North Sea Views

The ‘Düsseldorfer Hof’ is one of the most exclusive properties in one of the finest locations on Nordeney. The modern building is situated on the ‘Kaiserwiese’, with design features reminiscent of historic spa architecture. The apartment is set over two levels. On the second floor there are three bedrooms – each with balconies – and two bathrooms. The third floor comprises an open plan living room, dining room and kitchen area. The open plan design of the layout right from the south to the north elevation is particularly appealing. It allows maximum light to shine in – with the sun in the south on the sheltered balconies and the views over the sea to the north. The highlight though is the terrace, which stretches along the entire length of the third floor. A dining area is ideal for enjoying evening meals with a sunset backdrop and unique views over the North Sea. E&V ID: W-00K3HQ
